1.
A key element in success
in any field is

2.
the willingness and desire
to learn new things and
grow, and the acceptance
of change.

3.
This is why a growth
mindset is strongly
associated with success.

4.
A fixed mindset can be
seen in a person who
masters something quickly,
and then

5.
plateaus and fails to
improve further.

6.
The person will either
succeed with a

7.
task at first try or give up in
disappointment.

8.
Their inner voice has
already told them that
they're either good at or
not good at the task

9.
A growth mindset can be
seen in one

10.
who learns slowly and
gradually, accepting new
challenges and solving
problems along the way.

11.
These different mindsets
can be recognized in early
childhood.

12.
When given a challenging
puzzle to solve,

13.
some children will try, fail,
and

14.
become quickly
disinterested and give up.

15.
Other children try, and
even though they don't
experience immediate
success,

16.
they become engaged.

17.
They see it as a problem to
solve and

18.
spend time with it.

19.
We often say of kids like
this that

20.
they love a good challenge.

21.
These mindsets also reveal
later in life.

22.
Think back to someone
you know in high school
who had everything going
well for them.

23.
They were intelligent,
talented, and personable,
and seemed to have
everything in order.

24.
But in recent years, you
reconnect with this person
on social media or at a
high school reunion.

25.
You're shocked to learn
that their life took off early
and then fizzled out or
stagnated.

26.
This is a person who has a
fixed mindset and could not
continue growing and
evolving in the way that
you'd expected.

27.
On the other hand,

28.
if you reconnect with
someone who

29.
has a growth mindset,

30.
they might have gone on to
achieve more than you
ever expected.

31.
The person may not have
seemed like the type who
was bound for great things,

32.
but over time, they might
have started a business or
achieved great success
elsewhere.

33.
Mindset is situational.

34.
You may use one or the
other mindsets in certain
situations, as well as at
different times of your life.

35.
For example, when you're
facing a new situation
where you're unsure of
yourself and not confident,
you're more likely to

36.
adopt a fixed mindset.

37.
You may adopt more of a
growth mindset

38.
in activities where

39.
you're more engaged or
experienced.

40.
In any case, defaulting to a
fixed mindset,

41.
whether situationally or for
a large portion of your life,
can limit your success,
health, and happiness
